Challenging Myself: Challenge Six - The Coupon Challenge

Challenge Six - The Coupon Challenge - It Should Have Been Day Four

So this should have been Day Four and the day to go shopping and use up my £7.50 worth of usable Nectar Points ... only the great Welsh lockdown happened!!

As I needed to be at home in Wales to cover for Alan working away next week I couldn't get back to the Van and still be able to return to Wales when needed. So I'm here without having the chance to buy the food that I had planned ... and with a need to use up a lot of the food in the cupboards here too. So this last leg has been put on the back burner for now.

The Sainsbury's I now use is near the Van and although I could travel to the one in Rhyl and perhaps do the grand finale that I had planned for this Challenge here, I think I would rather chomp my way through what I have in store here instead of moving house with it.

So the Grand Finale was going to be to live for a week on whatever I could buy in one visit to Sainsbury's using only my Nectar points and up to 20p for overage.

Oh well ... the best laid plans of mice and men and all that!!

One good thing is that I found a lottery ticket here at home in Wales being used as a bookmark in one of my books, and checking it on my phone I realised that it was a £30 prize winner. Yay 😃

I have also been busy Ziffit-ing my books, as car boot sales have been non-existent in our part of Wales. My first box of over £50 worth went off with the DPD man yesterday. If that goes smoothly another will be following next week.

Yay! Well done on the lottery win. Ziffit usually pay up pretty quickly,Sue, that's where most of my books went before we moved last year. Perhaps your new challenge could be "How to furnish my new flat on the proceeds from book sales" 😉 x

Why .....

I love a Challenge ... with a big C ... I always have. Why would anyone take the easy road when you can take a swervey, rocky and much more interesting one ... and actually learn something about yourself on the journey.

The idea of this blog is to chart some of my Challenges over the course of the next year or so. Some might last the distance and teach me something along the way, some might be serious and perhaps even a tad inspirational.

Some might just fizzle and die a remarkably quick death. I've been known to leave things unfinished ...

Disclaimer

Challenging Myself is my blog.

I use it to chart the Challenges I set myself and what I do day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year.

In it I also express my views and opinions and say what I do and occasionally how I do it. All saved for posterity ... and to amuse myself in my grand old age.

If you chose to copy or follow along with anything that I do or talk about doing, it is assumed that you will do so with care and consideration, and question where necessary any methods or techniques that I use to your own satisfaction and match them to your own circumstances.

The pictures on each blog post are taken by me, or on occasion found on Google Images, unless otherwise credited, and as such my photographs should not be borrowed or used elsewhere without my consent.
